You can reduce the timeout to choose which OS to boot to to 0
[zero] effectively not displaying that screen by doing this:
In Vista, right-click Computer, and then choose Properties from the pop-up
menu. Next, click Advanced System Settings and then click the Startup And
Recovery Settings button. This displays the Startup And Recovery window,
where you can select the default OS [Vista in this case] then change the
length of time the Boot Menu appears. Set it to 0 [zero] and you're good to
go
